1985 WAFL season
The 1985 WAFL season was the 101st season of the West Australian Football League and its various incarnations. The season opened on 30 March and concluded on 21 September with the 1985 WAFL Grand Final contested between and .
It was highlighted by the rise of Subiaco, who had nearly become extinct in the late 1970s due to financial problems〔Spillman, Ken; ''Diehards: the Story of the Subiaco Football Club 1946-2000'', pp. 198-200; ISBN 0-9578185-0-5〕 and had won only 25.2 percent of its games between 1975 and 1984. The Lions recovered from a mid-season slump to win their last seven games before the finals – their longest winning streak in one season since 1915〔See Christian, Geoff; ‘Subiaco’s Winning Streak the Best for 12 Years’; ''The West Australian'', 19 August 1985, p. 88〕 – and challenge East Fremantle. The Sharks came off their 1984 Grand Final loss to win their first twelve on end – being quoted at odds of 25/1 to achieve a perfect season〔Christian, Geoff; ‘What Price Sharks to Stay Unbeaten’; ''The West Australian'', 27 May 1985, pp. 79, 84〕 besides gainign favourable comparisons with their unbeaten 1946 counterparts〔Christian, Geoff; ‘Sharks Have a Touch of Greatness’; ''The West Australian'', 20 May 1985, p. 81〕 – and seal the minor premiership with four games remaining, in a thrilling Grand Final.
Major declines occurred from Claremont, who had their worst season since 1977, and East Perth, who began a sequence of five seasons with only 24 wins, two wooden spoons (their first since 1964) and two last-round escapes. Perth, who had not played finals in any grade since the 1978 Grand Final,〔(WAFL Reserves Ladder Positions ) (download)〕〔(WAFL Colts Ladder Positions ) (download)〕 embarked upon their first significant recruiting campaign for a decade, acquiring dissatisfied South Fremantle coach Mal Brown, former Claremont goalsneak Brett Farmer, and future mainstays Mark Watson, Wayne Ryder and Willie Dick〔Christian, Geoff, ‘Perth’s Recruiting Policy Starting to Pay Off’; ''The West Australian'', 15 April 1985, p. 76〕 – but did not match expectations and rose just one position with one more win than in 1984.
Off the field, the season saw Perth businessmen Alan Delany and John Watts attempt to buy lowly VFL club St. Kilda and move them to Perth,〔Christian, Geoff; ‘WAFL to Monitor Move on Saints’; in ''The West Australian''; 20 May 1985; p. 80〕 which failed but was the first move towards the modern national Australian Football League, which began in earnest with the formation of the West Coast Eagles in 1987.
